My first timeline: A Small Request

OK. This might be the last update in a while, or one of the last. I've got a summer thing coming up in a few days, and depending how things go I'll be somewhere without internet for 4 to 8 weeks.

“I’ve met governor Reagan. He’s a good man, a family man. But he is not the man for the presidency. He promises you that he’ll be able to lower taxes, and still somehow increase revenue. That’s insane. That’s voodoo economics. He’s making promises to the American people that he has no way to keep. And it’s time for Mr. Reagan to admit that. His policies may sound good, but they’re complete drivel”
- George H.W. Bush, campaigning in Iowa 1/3/1980

"BUSH JUTS AHEAD OF REAGAN FOR FIRST TIME."
- The Des Moines Register, 1/10/1980

Sincerely,
Zbigniew
